What is open versus closed architecture?
Answer: In general, "open" architecture involves an entity that is built in a modularized manner, thus allowing the entity to be easily modified or upgraded by adding, deleting or replacing modules. Conversely, "closed" architecture involves an entity that is built homogeneously, making it difficult and expensive to subsequently modify or upgrade the entity. While Open & Closed architectural styles are generally associated with Engineering and Information Systems disciplines, a practical example can be found in office buildings. Some office buildings have fixed offices that have walls from floor to ceiling, rendering them difficult to modify. (Example of a "closed" architectural style). Other office buildings have large areas (i.e.: a complete floor) that can be turned into multiple offices by employing mobile office partitions and room dividers. (Example of an "open" architectural style).
Are a skyscraper's walls made of concrete?
No. The (exterior) walls are usually steel and glass (perhaps incorporating some aluminum), all of the weight of which is borne by the floors. The weight of the floors is borne by the vertical support columns, which are steel or reinforced concrete. They're tucked inside. The massive weight of the building is transferred into the support columns, and that compressive force is transferred in turn down into bedrock. Most of the tallest buildings have their load bearing columns "inside" away from the outer walls. That allows the outer wall of the building to be more fully developed for "the view" from higher elevations. It also protects the columns from damage due to the possible impact of an aircraft. That was part of the design consideration for the Empire State Building. And a good thing, too. The 102-story structure was struck by a B-25 flying in a thick fog on the morning of July 28th, 1945. That was Sunday. Much of the building was open for business the following day. In the case of the World Trade Center, the exterior of the buildings were steel load bearing walls. It was an extraordinary engineering concept! And the buildings were superb! But, in retrospect, it may have been an engineering error - a fatal idea.

What is an area enclosed by buildings?
An area enclosed by buildings is commonly known as a courtyard or an inner courtyard. It is a space surrounded by walls or buildings, often open to the sky, and can serve as a central gathering place or a private outdoor area. Courtyards are found in various architectural styles and can be designed for different purposes, such as relaxation, socializing, or as a functional extension of the surrounding buildings.
